Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

If Contacts were on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...

Else Add the email account that stores your contacts in the IOS mail app and enable Contacts.If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organisation's system administrator.

Also forgot to mention that it gives me the choice of syncing a specific group or syncing all groups, but most of my contacts are not in any group at all. Is this a problem? It has never interfered in the past.

Interesting. I was wondering if I needed to add an account. I've never used one. My contacts are stored in the Contacts app that comes with the Mac and iPhone. I stopped using my IOS mail app a while back and I use Mozilla Thunderbird. I wonder if that is the problem. I stopped using the mail app because it quit downloading my mail.
